In all, this message contains about 13 links. Unlike other phishing attempts this Email ‘mixes things up’ by providing both what look to be legitimate links to AT&T’s website and malicious links that resolve to a .br domain extension. To make a long story short, if you get this Email message be sure to delete it from your inbox immediately and be certain not to click on any links contained therein.

I hope that you found this post informative and that it helped you avoid computer problems by alerting you to the hoax. If so, I kindly ask that you share this with friends and family so that they can quickly delete it and move on to having a spectacular day and weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!
